Products For Your Industry
Autodesk® 3ds Max® Design 2010 3D modeling, animation, and rendering software plays a central role in design visualization workflows. It offers digital continuity with other Autodesk products, providing architects, designers, engineers, and visualization specialists with powerful tools for communicating and validating their creative ideas.

To learn how 3ds Max Design 3D visualization software complements other Autodesk design and engineering products, choose a specific industry from the list below.

Architecture 

• AutoCAD Architecture 
  The easy-to-use features for architectural drafting and design in AutoCAD® Architecture software enhance the creation of construction documents, giving you more tools to automate tedious drafting tasks and enabling you to create your architectural documentation faster.
• Revit Architecture 
  Revit® Architecture software works the way you think, so you create naturally, design freely, and deliver efficiently. Purpose-built for building information modeling (BIM), Revit Architecture automatically coordinates any change you make throughout the project.
• AutoCAD Revit Architecture Suite 
  Protect your investments in software, training, and design data and get the competitive advantage of BIM with the AutoCAD® Revit® Architecture Suite, which includes Revit Architecture, AutoCAD Architecture, and AutoCAD® software.
• Autodesk ImageModeler 
  Autodesk® ImageModeler™ photogrammetric software is an image-based 3D modeling and design tool that enables architects to create 3D photorealistic buildings from photographs and view their design in context. With its powerful measuring tools, ImageModeler can help reduce the need for complex laser measurements on-site.
• Autodesk Stitcher Unlimited 
  Autodesk® Stitcher™ Unlimited panorama creation software allows architects to put their designs in context. Stitcher Unlimited applications include the creation of virtual tours to show project achievement, creation of panoramic backdrops for integration of CAD projects in real-life, and geo-referencing of panoramas in the Google Earth™ virtual globe program.
• Autodesk Combustion 
  Autodesk® Combustion® software adds comprehensive broadcast-quality motion graphics, titling, and visual effects to 3D design visualizations. Quickly make color changes and lighting and texturing variations and composite 3D animations with live footage or images.
• Autodesk Cleaner XL 
  Autodesk® Cleaner® XL software is an industry-essential media-mastering and media-encoding solution for the Windows® operating system. 

Civil Engineering 

• AutoCAD Civil 3D 
  The leading Autodesk civil-engineering solution—made up of AutoCAD® Civil 3D® software and AutoCAD® Civil software—provides targeted solutions for use by an entire project team, including civil engineers and designers, drafters, technicians, and surveyors.

Manufacturing 

• Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 
  Designed for use with tablet PCs or digitized pen tablets, Autodesk® SketchBook® Pro software provides a digital sketch pad that replaces traditional pen and paper in any creative process.
• Autodesk Inventor 
  Autodesk® Inventor® 3D mechanical design software provides a comprehensive set of 3D mechanical CAD tools for producing, validating, and documenting complete digital prototypes.

Design Visualization 
Explore, validate, and communicate your creative ideas using Autodesk products for advanced design visualization. Architects, designers, engineers, and design visualization experts can use state-of-the-art 3D visualization and modeling tools to enrich their designs from concept to presentation. Explore how the AutoCAD, Revit, and Autodesk Inventor product families work with 3ds Max Design 2010 software for a seamless design visualization workflow.

Building Information Modeling
With its emphasis on consistent, reliable design models, Autodesk building information modeling (BIM) software packages facilitate collaborative workflows. Import your Revit Architecture building information models into 3ds Max Design and rapidly manipulate them in the viewport. Using these two products together allows you to view your 3D design with as much detail as you need to make crucial design decisions.

Sustainable Design
Simulate the lighting in your 3ds Max Design projects with confidence using Exposure™, a lighting analysis technology validated by the National Research Council (NRC), Canada’s leading organization for scientific research and the same organization that validated Radiance for lighting simulation. Achieve more sustainable designs by analyzing and accurately predicting how sun, sky, and artificial lighting will interact with your design. You can also export light measurements to an Excel file to facilitate LEED EQ Credit 8.1 certification.
